.125 Credit 1.0 Weight
Effective with the freshman class in 2020-2021, the High School Career Coordinator will grant a total of .5 credits for the career development required for graduation. This is not a course students take, but rather a series of activities and learning opportunities students will complete through Naviance, career- related learning experiences, and counselor guidance from freshman through senior year. Students will engage in a strengths explorer assessment, create resumes, participate in job shadowing, and develop a career portfolio. The seminar courses are designed to focus on career exploration, career portfolios, college search/applications, financial aid, resume writing, cover letters, and interview skills. Schoology, Naviance, and/or Google Classroom are all platforms that may be utilized to deliver content, assignments, and manage student portfolios. Students may also be given the opportunity to attend college trips to local universities as well as trips to local employers. As a culminating project, seniors would participate in exit interviews to present their career portfolio and plan for Life After High School. A panel (ex: guidance, career coordinator, teacher and administration) will observe and engage in the presentations, and may follow with a brief Q&A with the senior presenter. This is a year long course that meets one time per month.
